An Overview of the VUB Entry for the 2013 Hurricane Challenge Host Publication: 14th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association (Interspeech 2013) Authors: H. Brouckxon and W. Verhelst Publisher: ISCA Publication Date: Aug. 2013 ISBN: 978-1-62993-443-3
Abstract: This paper describes the SINCoFETS entry for the Hurricane challenge [1], in which intelligibility enhancement algorithms for speech presentation in noise are compared. The proposed system combines noise-independent non-uniform time scaling and dynamics compression algorithms with noise dependent frequency equalization to improve the robustness of speech intelligibility against noise. The algorithms in the system are described and a short discussion of the results is given.
